Forbidden Fruit (Edward's 4/30)

The Garden of EdenHas a higher proportionOf incarcerationThan any other UtopiaSo even if it's the land of innovationsAnd state-of-the-art technologyThere's a troubleshooting guideFor their livesBut it's not your version of the BibleThe disciples of the LordWill come in the formOf Arch Angels namedRudy, Ronald and RichardThat double as wardens of Helland gatekeepers of Heaven

But Adam saysHe don't need a judgment dayClaims that while he is a made manHe also appointed himself GodfatherHe believed he created his creatorBecause Geppetto's storyIs worthless without PinocchioAnd the strings on a puppetAre God's self-esteem running thin

But EveIsn't arrogant enough to thinkThis is a world made for the peopleAnd by the peopleSo she waitsFor the voice of the creatorWith a Tommy gunIn her right handBecause sheHas already lostHer left fingersFor paying offThe loan sharksSent to collect interestFor Adam's ribsShe can't fathomWhat her phantom GodWill do for poisoningHer body with Forbidden fruit

But she's grown usedTo paying for her crimesAnd she can't hideGod has already wire tappedEden's black market with his omnipotenceThere are no covert operationsSo EveMight as well eatForbidden fruit in the openCuz Eden'sDepartment of InvestigationAlready knows where to performSWAT raidsWith flash grenadesAnd tear gas madeFrom the glow of halos

But EveWasn't the first to be criminalizedThere were 13 and 14 more gangstasBefore herLilith had her fig trees seizedWithout convictionsThe Serpent consumed Forbidden fruitThe angels sprayed with herbicidesAnd was told he deserved to dieBecause there were 332 legal fruits in the gardenSo God will grant no pardonTo those who hallucinateThat they are nakedGod will laminate their nightmaresTo their humanity

There will come a dayWhen Eve wishes GodWould have taken her fingersFrom the other handCuz Tommy gunsDon't carry the ammunitionTo ease the birthing of childrenAnd epidurals will do nothingFor the pain of Cain killing AbelAnd God knowing the murderOf her youngest will comeEve will look at what used to be her left handAnd they bloody face of AbelAnd wonder why GodWas so intentOn passing lawsThat protect her from herselfWhen they needed safe havens from each other

But prohibition isn't about protectionIt's about controlThe way Geppetto weaves his storyInto the strings of PinocchioGiuliani, Reagan and Nixon'sPropaganda campaignsWill be pulled from the pages of GenesisOnly when the BibleHas government subsidized advertisementsSo to identify bias is blasphemyWhen we will confuse morality with politicsAnd criminal justice becomes oxymoronicWhen 435, 000 will dieFrom tobacco leavesThat don't grow from the tree of knowledgeAnd I promise it won't be by the hands of Al CaponeBut by government officialsThat have God complexes and a collection plateWhere lobbyists can payFor scriptures that sayWhich plants are legal and illegal

We Need to Tax White Privilege (Edward's 3/30)

We need to tax "white privilege"Taxes on income bracketsThe higher the classThe higher the taxAnd taxes on privilege bracketsIf you Mo' Black, No taxAnd Since they can't donate privilegeThey need to donate cash...It ain't charityIf they returnin' what they sto'...

GoTo the nicest houseThe one with a 20 acre yardTake that shit and tell the owner"you owe me 20 more and a mule"And those who get tanned,Should get auditedBy the IRS for tax evasionProperty taxesShould increaseExponentiallyIf your house is passed downTrans-generationallyKunta helped built itSo pay that shitOn tax free weekendThe CEO of your multi-billion dollar companyCan finally admitThat his night job is Grand WizardTax ExemptionsGiven to all white people in the hoodThat know Ghetto is not an adjective...It's a place you try to move your mom away from

Sale taxTo every white personThat buys into Fox newsSale taxTo every white liberalWho buys into the belief"I'm not racist, I have Black friends!"And contrary to popular belief,Obama's PresidencyWill not decreaseThe tax rateOn white privilegeWhitenessIs an economic goodThey won't trade....So tax that shitFor the public welfareAnd by publicI mean NOT back to private schoolsAnd by welfareI DON'T meanSocial Security programs

White people wont be able to write-offTheir privilege by saying"But I did Peace Corps...In the country of Africa...At the risk of catching AIDS"1st generation EuropeansWill NOT be able to say,"I don't have to pay, I came here after slavery!"While simultaneously blending inTo the crowd that NEVER gets 51 shotsCourtesy of NYPD

Whiteness is currencyOld money passed downWith dominant traits of racismAnd phenotypes of lynchingThem accidental-passin'-Negroes...Who grow up "White"Later to trace their genealogyAnd findGranny was a mammyThey will NOT get tax refundsThere will be inflationAs long as they deny citizenshipTo immigrantsAnd ban gay-marriageThere will be a toll chargeAt each intersectionFor everyone who drives a PruisBecause I NEVER seen aBlack person driving them shitsThere will be an inheritance taxFor every white baby bornThat doesn't know that Walt Witman was a poetAnd so the FUCK was TupacAnd the further you live from the hoodThe higher you must pay your accountant...

And the white people will boycott the taxesDress in Blackface and danceTo hide their identityWe will laughAnd this will be the closest thing to reparationsWe ever cash...And they will wishTo be as comfortable in their skinAs we never wereWith the stigmaAnd the realityThat struggleHas always stemmed from moneyIt's just they stole our dignity tooSo if they don't give it backThey will lose theirs
